CORE--ANALYTICAL FACILITY /AMINO ACIDS

描述（改编自应用程序）：氨基酸核心实验室， 范德比尔特大学成立于1975年，是一个联合设施，由 一般临床研究中心（GCRC）和糖尿病研究， 培训中心（DRTC）。GCRC提供了空间和专业指导（博士。 William Lacy），而DRTC和GCRC共同提供工资和供应 支持. 1984年，范德比尔特的外科科学部为 通过购买新的氨基酸核心实验室的进一步发展 设备.核心是在纳吉·阿本拉德博士的指导下组织的， 特别强调使用高效液相色谱法（HPLC）， 测定氨基酸。Lacy博士在此期间担任顾问。来 在接下来的几年里，获得了新的设备，并开发了新的方法。 响应用户需求，测量各种标记和 未标记的氨基酸莱西博士于1987年英年早逝， 任命GCRC的新董事后，氨基酸核心被转移到 在外科科学部内的空间。1984年，范德比尔特CNRU 加入了新重组的氨基酸核心实验室。1990年，保罗博士 Flakoll，外科助理教授，被任命为主任， 实验室因此，在过去的23年里，氨基酸核心实验室作为 发展成为CNRU和DRTC之间的联合奋进。这导致 提高效率，提供更广泛的服务，以及 可观的财务节省。在它的历史中，核心已经发展了 从具有两个主要服务的实验室（完整的氨基酸谱和 丙氨酸比放射性）和三名主要研究人员前往实验室 有17个不同的部门和16个调查员因此 核心实验室仍然是CNRU的一个高度利用和活跃的组成部分。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application): The Amino Acid Core Laboratory at Vanderbilt University was established in 1975 as a joint facility supported by the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) and the Diabetes Research and Training Center (DRTC). The GCRC provided space and professional guidance (Dr. William Lacy), while the DRTC and GCRC jointly provided salary and supply support. In 1984, the Section of Surgical Sciences at Vanderbilt contributed to the further development of the Amino Acid Core laboratory by purchasing new equipment. The Core was organized under the direction of Dr. Naji Abumrad with special emphasis on the use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to assay amino acids. Dr. Lacy served as a consultant during this period. Over the next few years, new equipment was acquired and methods were developed in response to user demand for the measurement of a variety of labeled and unlabeled amino acids. With Dr. Lacy's untimely death in 1987, and the appointment of a new director of the GCRC, the Amino Acid Core was moved to space within the Section of Surgical Sciences. In 1984, the Vanderbilt CNRU joined the newly reorganized Amino Acid Core laboratory. In 1990, Dr. Paul Flakoll, Assistant Professor of Surgery, was appointed as director of the laboratory. Therefore, over the past 23 years the Amino Acid Core laboratory as evolved into a joint endeavor between the CNRU and the DRTC. This has resulted in greater efficiency, the offering of a wider range of services, and considerable financial savings. During its history, the core has progressed from a laboratory with two primary services (full amino acid profiles and alanine specific radioactivity) and three primary investigators to a laboratory with seventeen different services and sixteen investigators. Therefore, the core laboratory remains as a highly utilized and active component of the CNRU.
